    I am always amazed on the variety of vehicles used by Germany in WWII, what's even more amazing is to see so many in prime running condition. Thanks

    Dear Sofilein,
    Thanks for sharing this.
    Overloon War Museum has one of the most rare collections of German WW2 vehicles and most of them are so wel conservatief and restored that these vehicles run and drive like these just run out of the production line. Almost every year you can see another example of what’s restored and new running in the parade the museum is organizing so I can understand you very well that you want to be with such a parade. I look forward to your next vlog and send you love

    Back in 1995 I visited family in Germany with my mom. I made friends with a guy who had an Ural motorcycle with sidecar which he explained was literally a bolt for bolt copy of a 1943 BMW. I think even the castings still had BMW marks along with the sidecar even having machine gun mounts copied. It would be so cool if some motorcycle manufacturer made a reproduction Kettenkrad!

    Love it when you visit Militracks, always good footage. One thing i've been thinking for a while now is how not only are German armour functional, but they look better than allied armour. I mean better on the eye. I don't want to pay Adolf any compliments, but as all designs had to be approved by him I would hazard an unqualified guess that Hitlers artistic and personal taste may have had something to do with it . For example compare the Churchill to the King Tiger - Churchill , ugly looking lump (imho) King Tiger - Almost a work of art, everything in balance, looks stunning from any angle and definitely has a menacing look.

    This is what I love seeing personally is the revitilization of ww2 equipment getting a second chance in life regardless of which side they were on because of how rare most of them are in this day in time, and most being operational instead of being a static display piece in the middle of a town or inside a museum 24/7.
    The Nashorn and the Stug III ausf. G both look absolutely amazing and well taken care of. I see a Tiger I in the background at the beginning and I wonder if that is 131 brought out just for display.
    Half of me wishes I could put my hand on their cold steel frames and close my eyes to just listen to them tell their stories of combat action and how they were not only able to survive the war, but also survive from the scrap furnace as thats where a large majority of tanks went after the war was broken down and turned into scrap metal.

    Insane how many track vehicle variants Germany was producing! Cant imagine this endless creaking clacking menacing sound in the front. 🥶
